The deal
Your audience is worth more than a sponsored post, a course or an e-book. We turn it into a product you own part of.
How it works
- Email us at [email protected] with your handles and what you make.
- We find the app your audience already wants. Our trend technology studies what your audience engages with and what they need.
- We agree on the partnership. Equity and revenue share are set before anything is built.
- We build and launch the app.
- We grow it. We post daily across our own TikTok and Instagram accounts in many niches, more than 20 accounts in each niche, plus micro-influencers we built for every niche. We also take the app to new markets and languages.
- You get credit for every signup. Every user who comes from your audience is tracked back to you.
Why an app instead of a course, an e-book or sponsorships
Most creator income stops when you stop posting. An app can keep earning from subscriptions, and you own part of the company behind it.
| Sponsorships | Course or e-book | Merch | App with Airplane Mode | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How you earn | Paid per post | Paid per sale | Margin per sale | Revenue share on recurring app revenue |
| What you own | Nothing after the post | The product | The designs | Equity in the app |
| Your work | Make every post | Create and update the content | Design, stock and ship | Share it with your audience |
| Who builds and grows it | You | You | You or a vendor | Us |
Results so far
Is an app right for you?
An app is a strong fit when your audience trusts you and shares a need an app can solve every day, like training, learning, money, health or creativity. It is a weaker fit if you need cash this month, since an app builds income over time.
Questions

What do creators get from partnering with Airplane Mode?
Equity in the app and a share of its revenue. We build the app and run the growth; you bring your audience.

We do. Airplane Mode handles product, design, engineering and growth, using our proprietary technologies and our own account network.
Which platforms do you work with?
TikTok, Instagram and YouTube creators. Tell us where you post when you email us.
How is this different from Stan, Kajabi or Passion.io?
